    I don’t remember which video it was, I’d have to go find it. At the end he sets up a ‘science experiment’ to show that wet wipes are flushable, unlike what everyone says. And the way he ‘proves’ it is clearly a terrible way to prove it, but if you aren’t thinking about it you’ll agree. I’ll try to find the video.

          Thanks for sharing that. I’ll agree it’s pretty dubious, but not enough to stop me enjoying their other content. But I have a pretty high skeptic quotient for everything online to begin with so, a little light shilling isn’t enough to turn me off of a channel that’s otherwise entertaining and often thought-provoking.

          That “experiment” definitely deserves the mythbusters treatment, though. Even if that brand breaks into pieces faster, that doesn’t account for total breakdown or even what happens to its individual fibers after flushing. More data needed.
